Best way to set up pre-pay discount Rx plans

[clinicoffice_user]

I sell blocks of treatment sessions in advance with different discount levels (in %) for different numbers of sessions (6, 12, etc).

Previously we have received the payment on account and allocated each session as a separate item (e.g. ‘Treatment £x’ as opposed to just ‘Treatment’ which would show as the standard single session price.)

The trouble is, by having different levels of discount you end up with a huge list of items and have to keep track of exactly which block the patient bought. This means either accurate noting on their paper records or quickly calculating their remaining credit by dividing by each possible discounted item price.

Another way we tried was to assign each block as an item and then charging a £0 treatment every time they came in until they had used them all. This made invoices and receipts very time consuming though as they all had to be heavily edited and itemised. Also, returning any unused credit was tricky.

Is there a better way which I am not seeing?

Appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks
